Nintendo has been around for what seems like forever. Who doesn’t love the original Super Mario, and the classics like Zelda and Metroid? Satoru Iwata, the President of Nintendo doesn’t want to merge with any phone devices. As of now, Nintendo is doing fine and Iwata doesn’t see any mobile phone as a competitor.With all the apps the Iphone offers including a large variety of advanced and cheap games on the go, Iwata is going to have to consider mobile phone reviews and merge with a device of choice.

Nintendo DS and PS3 are awesome but they are expensive and can only be played at home. The Iphone not only has multiple games to choose from but the all the games can be played anywhere. They go where the Iphone goes. The Iphone also has a clear touch screen which makes playing games easy.

Perhaps and incentive to get Nintendo on board for the merge would be necessary. Iphone although great as is, could come out with a new phone capable of everything it already has consisting of storing and buying music, keeping up with business, internet, and endless applications however, the new phone would be specific to gamers and have a wider screen. The new phone geared toward gaming could also have a built in mini control similar to a sliding keypad that could pop out the side.

Some issues would be things such as the Iphone’s battery life. How impressive would the controller inputs be in an Iphone. Would they actually be worth it or would they realistically be pretty lame causing true gamers to want to stick to the game counsels?

Most people make lists of the best games or the most lovable characters in video games (or online games), but we just thought we’ll go ahead and make a list of the 7 most annoying game sidekicks of all time. Why seven? No particular reason apart from seven being a number I like, and also because most people make the best 5, the best 10, the best 100 or whatever; we thought it’s high time we gave the number 7 it’s due. So here are the 7 most annoying sidekicks of all time.

Roman Bellic (GTA IV)
Irritating and pesky, this character takes the top spot not only because he is useless, but he is also a grating obstruction to the flow of the game. Very demanding and needs constant attention, and probably the weakest link in the Niko Bellic chain.

Kreia (Knights of the Old Republic II-The Sith Lords)
It was a tossup between Kreia and Roman Bellic for the top choice, and Bellic eventually scrapped through with the thinnest of margins to claim the top spot. 99% of gamers will say Kreia should get top billings on this list, but since there are quite a few people out there who adore nagging and irritating mother-in-laws, we thought we’ll respect their senses and pushed Kreia to number 2.

Sometimes, you wonder while playing the game, who you hate more; the villain or the side kick? Nagging Kreia for the number two spot, definitely.

Otacon (Metal Gear Solid Series)
A total loser even for a side kick—what’s the point in having a side kick when all that the character does is hide behind you like a pussy? Weak and pitiful, and an excuse for adding another dimension to the game, Otacon follows Bellic and Kreia closely at 3rd.

Tails (Sonic -the Hedgehog 2)
Awfully slow—that’s how you can pay the best compliment to Tails from Sonic-Hedgehog series. If the purpose was to give Sonic a useful sidekick, then Tails should have been put on a course of anabolic steroids. Though slow in the game, Tails makes it to the 4th spot in supersonic speed.

John Madden (Madden Franchise)
For the stupidest advice on game strategy, John Madden should get the No.1 spot on this list, but since we had more serious contenders, we had to fit in Madden in the 5th place. NFL teams should hire a coach like him if they are on a tax scrutiny and want to show losses for all the unaccounted money. Hiring him is the best way to go bust at top speed.

Navi (Legend of Zelda-The Ocarina of Time
Actually, Navi would have won the competition for the most annoying sidekick hands down if we had made this list based just on feedbacks from gamers. However, since Navi has been kind of a classic figure when it comes to sidekick bashing, we decided to give this sorry for a sidekick character a breather. But we just have to say this, “Navi, go climb those vines.”

Chip (Sonic Unleashed)
The only reason why Chip finds the last spot on this list is only because he is a cartoon character. Just like Tails, Chips just hangs around Sonic without contributing anything to the plot or the game in general. The only reason he is less disgusting in comparison to Tails is because he is a tad faster than Tails. And the high pitched voice just adds to the irritation to intolerable limits.

There ends our 7 top annoying gaming sidekicks list, but we’ve got so many names waiting to get into the list. As of now, these 7 somehow managed to beat the rest, but since competition is high, we might have to make a fresh list sooner than later.
